Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) lived his life as an author, naturalist, scholar, and historian. He was also known as a tax resister, abolitionist, growth critic, and surveyor. Walden, his book, is a retrospection of simple life in natural surroundings..
The observance encourages people to take a step back and consider how to simplify our lives in our fast-paced, ever-increasing lifestyles.. It's a great opportunity to declutter and eliminate the unnecessary burdens that weigh us down. We find balance after taking a few minutes to tune into nature.
